Do any of you people watch the news?
Or do you just make totally uninformed statements on what you guess to be reality...

This bomb was commissioned to be built in 2003 when the previous MOAB failed to penetrate the dwelling hide-outs of the Taliban in those mountainous cave dwellings.
This is the first use of this model in real combat.
The purpose is to find out if it penetrates deep enough to take out N.Korea's underground complex. And to send the message, we could use this to do just that.
It was considered to be the primary weapon to take out Iran's underground nuclear installations.
So by the time real development was done for it, that was the primary target for it's specs under the Obama admin.
So the present admin wants "options" to take on N.Korea in a quick sweep and so they dust it off and test it out.
I do more than watch/read the news, I understand it as it presents itself. But you can't pick and choose what you read and expect to understand.
